To the Schmidt Family,
The world has just lost the most special woman and heaven gained a new saint. There are not too many people you come across in life like Mrs. Schmidt. Such a good friend to my parents and family. We are blessed for having known her. Your happy memories of your mom will be plentiful.
God bless you,

Wynnie was a wonderful woman and I have many fond memories of her.
When I was growing up we often went to visit our cousins in Glenside so from an early age I was impressed with her. Aunt Wynnie was an avid sports fan and she loved nature, camping and the great outdoors- all things that my Mom did not like- so she became a role model who showed another way to be a woman.
As I grew older I came to appreciate her generous service to others and her dedication to the Church. She was always busy helping others. After my Dad passed, She was a faithful friend to my Mom for many years.
I am grateful to have known such a wonderful woman. I know she is already rejoicing in the heavens with all her loved ones. She lived a full and happy life, so I am sure God reached out His arms to welcome her and said "Well done, my good and faithful servant"
My sympathy to Henry, Ernie, Ed, Bob and John- I know you will miss her... but now you all have a special angel in heaven.
You are in my prayers,
Love,
Stephanie

To Winnie's Family and Friends,
My deepest sympathy to you at the loss
of Winnie. Integrity,humility,service,friendship,and love are the qualities that I most think of when I bring Winnie to mind. She did so much for so many without bringing attention to herself. She loved God and neighbor,and lived a truly Christian and loving life. She had fun,and enjoyed life. She will be missed. I admired her strength,and thought how well she handled so much of life with a quiet dignity. Thank you for sharing her with us,and may she be rewarded in heaven for the good she did on earth.
Sincerely,
Terry Biansco
St. Luke parishoner and friend

Wynnie was an inspiration to us all. She stepped in when my parents passed away and treated my children like her own grandchildren. There are so many fond memories of this remarkable woman that it would take volumes to record them. Our only consolation is that she is with her beloved husband and family and will be watching over all of us. There is a void that will never be filled but we are all a great deal richer for having had her in our lives.
